Critical reception

Chennai Vision wrote, "To sum it up, Enakku Innoru Per Irukku, despite its loophools and pitfalls, is a highly entertaining movie. Foget the logic and enjoy the magic, if your choice for the weekend is a value for money timepass entertainer".^[9] Gautaman Bhaskaran of Hindustan Times wrote, "With performances either wooden, like in the case of Kumar or exaggerated from the rest of the cast, Anton’s 130-minute movie turns into a merry-go-round with the images spinning all around it in mindless medley of incidents".^[10] Baradwaj Rangan wrote a negative review for The Hindu.^[11]
